SHARE MAP
Sounds Like"Bittersweet is more than an undertone in Abi Tapia's latest CD, but that's not the prevailing emotion here. Beauty weaves strong Southern influences with an old-school 1970s country-folk sensibility, mastering the understatement in her songs and avoiding cutesy-rootsy overkill with intelligence and a fine tenor on this turning-point recording." -Margaret Moser

"a refreshing sparkle reminiscent of Terri Hendrix's Wilory Farm or Shawn Colvin at her most unguarded." -Texas Music

"Buy her new album, One Foot out the Door. It's full of sweet-but-confident tunes, sounds kind of like Kathleen Edwards, and gives us the chills from time to time." -Portland Phoenix

   About Abi Tapia
Singer and songwriter Abi Tapia calls Austin home, but she€™s lived in 9 states and her music reflects the spectrum of Americana. The inviting warmth of the South, the expansive Midwestern Plains, and the pluck and determination of a New England Yankee are all audible in her simple, honest and ear-catching tunes. Abi€™s latest CD is One Foot Out The Door, a collection of 12 songs about love, leaving, coming home and holding up a honky-tonk. The recording was produced by Chris Gage and features Eamon McLoughlin and Kym Warner of The Greencards. iLike Abi Tapia

Dropping by to wish you the best day ever and tomorrow do the same. If you have the means please give a couple of dollars to charity. Be it to fight Diabetes, Asthma, Cancer, Hunger, AIDS, or any other cause that touches your heart. I know of no better feeling than what you feel when you make another person’s day a little better.
